$175,000.00 Settlement in Semi-Truck Side-Swipe Collision

A middle-aged mother of two and caregiver was injured when her vehicle was sideswiped and dragged by an 18-wheeler in a residential neighborhood in Sunrise. The crash caused her to suffer neck, lower back, and shoulder injuries. The firm filed suit against the driver and his employer, alleging the truck driver was negligent and failed to stay in his lane, causing the crash. The driver contested liability and blamed the driver of the car instead. The case was filed, and after litigation, a settlement was reached before trial.
